X-ray tracer project

X-ray tracer for concave mirrors written in C++ by Nikolay Ivanov.

For more info regarding the theory behind this see the article written by me: https://www.overleaf.com/read/brmnjkbxwzqj

compilation:

To compile the program, you need:

• C++17 compatible compiler
• CMake tools
• Boost libraries with program_options, filesystem and system libraries installed

features:

• 2D ray-tracing on cyllindrical surfaces
• 3D ray-tracing on spherical surfaces
• 3D ray-tracing on spherical surfaces with surface defects. Surface defects are modelled with spheres.

yet to be done:

• 3D ray-tracing on elliptical surfaces
